Lilykind--question re: FC flats

luckylily · Gucci

Hey -

I'm not Lilykind, but I did try these on in the store the other day. They are cute, but they were more casual than I expected. I found them to be very sneaker like - more Puma style than ballet flat style.

I'm a size 7 and I usually wear a 37.5 in European sizes.

Thanks so much luckylily--do you think they would be cute with skirts (like cotton/t-shirtey skirts) even though they are more sneaker-like than they look online? Were they comfortable? Hmm, I can't decide now.

Also, they don't have half sizes so I'm trying to decide if I should go up to a 38 or just stick with a 37. Anyone know?

Yes, I think would make a very fun, cute, casual look with a skirt. I only had them on for a minute or two, but I found them to be pretty comfortable.

I'm typically a 7, but sometimes go up to 7.5, so I consider myself on the larger end of 7. The 38 definitely fit me, the 37 would have been too snug.

luckylily, did you find them to run wide or narrow? thanks!

Hmmm...I'd say pretty standard.

Gah, you girls are making wish I'd bought them. I was waffling when I tried them on because I already have both silver ballet flats and silver sneakers.
